Rappy

I'm with you on this Axel. I've watched a bunch of raw -- and generally, the BMPCC doesn't shine the way that the BMCC or 5D3 does with raw. (Both systems rock the raw.)

 

BMPCC Raw is only marginally better than shooting ProRes. Don't get this camera for its raw -- unless you are shooting green-screen or shooting for a feature film. Yes, the dynamic range is great on this camera, good for documentary shooters who can't control the environment.

 

The biggest compelling reason to get a BMPCC is that it poops out ProRes. You can drag it onto your timeline and get to work. No other camera at $1k does this.

Man you have very strange logic. Of course RAW is going to be a bigger jump from 8bit 4:2:0 than it is from 10bit 4:2:2. This only tells you the quality relative to itself. So to say RAW on BMPCC doesn't shine (because ProRes is so good to start with), is a bit weird. It is still better than ProRes and for reasons other than just plain image quality. For starters RAW does not have a white balance or ISO baked into the image. I mean why am I even bothering to convince you? If you don't notice something, don't go looking for it.

The most impressing video (for my taste) of the Pocket I found so far is this:

 

Happy again.

 

By the way: Did anyone notice a peculiar thing happening in many other Pocket videos, looking as if the exposure abruptly changes? I hope this is only with Pana & Oly lenses ...

Not sure why you think this was shot on the Pocket? It says it was shot on Reds and Sony cameras.
